('Earth has many a noble city')
Matthew 2 v,8-11
***********
From the East came wise men*, Magi
Unto Bethlehem drew nigh
Followed the star till their journey
Ended where the Christ-child be
Seeing the start they did greatly
Rejoice, e'en exceedingly
To worship the Saviour they came
Jesus, God's Son, be His name
The Epiphany, the showing
Of the Christ, the revealing**
To them, with Mary mother too
There they precious sight did view
Opening their treasures they made
Homage, gifts, to Him displayed
Gold and frankincense and myrrh fine
To the King human, divine
-------
* The text does not say they were Kings, but they may have been. Nor how many there were.
** The revealing to the Gentiles, i.e. non-Jews.

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. The hymn in the video is very old, from 4th century AD. Pronounce it correctly as 'E-piff-anny'. Or say 'E-pip-anny' if you wish.
